Im working on the front brakes on my 1966 custom. What size socket do you need to take the wheel cylinder nut off??? 1 1/16 is too small and 1 1/8 is too big. 1 3/32 would be in between those two sizes but I have yet to find a source for a 1 3/32 socket. However, a 28mm fits nicely when tapped on with a hammer. But surley they did not use a metric size, or did they??? Can anyone shed some light on this situation?
